The thermal imaging camera and how it works
A thermal imaging camera records the intensity of radiation in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum and converts it to a visible image.
The existence of infrared was discovered in 1800 by astronomer Sir Frederick William Herschel.
Curious to the thermal difference between different light colors, he directed sunlight through a glass prism to create a spectrum and then measured the temperature of each color. He found that the temperatures of the colors increased from the violet to the red part of the spectrum.

Unfortunately, many people do not understand or realise the true nature of fire and what it can do. Every year more than 480 citizens die and approximately 12,000 people are injured in fires (UK, 2008).
